Twilight Zone of the Day The opening lines of In His Image, episode #103 of The Twilight Zone: (writer: Charles Beaumont) LADY: Are you sick, young man? ALAN: No. LADY: You look sick. My husband looked like that, just before he died. All white and pasty. ALAN: No, I'm alright. LADY: Just what he said. Just those words. 'I'm alright.' Went to bed. Next morning, I went to wake him up and there he was, sprawled out dead. You don't drink, do ya? ALAN: What? LADY: That's what killed my Jack. I told him it was The Devil's work, but he wouldn't listen to me. You can see where he is now. Oh, The Devil's all around us, Mister, all around us, everywhere we go. And if we don't fight him, if we don't stand up to him, we'll suffer eternal torment! ALAN: I'm sure you're right, yes. LADY: I know I'm right. And I'll tell you how I know.... It was on a Sunday. I was ironing if you please. And that's when it came, out of a clear blue sky! Oh, the Good Lord's own sweet breath, and his voice like an electric shock! I was revelated! Oh, praise him, Mister and praise his good works! Do you read the book? ALAN: What book is that? LADY: Why, the Good Book! ALAN: Oh yes, all the time. LADY: You sure you're tellin' the truth now? We may be a mile underground, Mister, but he hears EVERY word. ALAN: Yes, it's the truth! LADY: Alright! Leviticus, Chapter Five, Verse Two! MAN'S VOICE: (o.s.) You're perfect! You're perfect! LADY: Well?! ALAN: Lady, please!! LADY: (reciting) If a soul touch any unclean thing, whether it be a carcass of an unclean beast, or a carcass of unclean cattle, or the carcass of unclean creeping things, and IF it be hidden from him, HE SHALL ALSO BE UNCLEAN, and guilty! ALAN: Lady, please go away! LADY: Don't you wanna be saved?! ALAN: NO! I just want to be left alone! LADY: We're never alone! Don't you know that? He's with us all the time and He'll help us if we only let Him. But we've got to be be saved first! (she shoves a pamphlet at him that reads 'The Way to Salvation') Read this, Mister! Take it! Read it! It will change your life! The Devil means to have you, Mister, but I won't let him! I'll fight with you, and we'll win! Listen to me! It's salvation I'm talkin' about! (she looks at him and suddenly stops preaching; Alan's eyes grow wide and violently wild) LADY: NO!! NO!!! (he shoves her into the path of the roaring subway, then makes a run for it, back through the turnstiles and up the stairs) Monday , November 21, 2011  06:21 Stupid Names of the Day Stupid Kid Names ( http://www.stupidkidnames.com/ ) is a "forum for the merciless mocking of parents who give their children stupid names."

Once he saw the footage of the Penn State coach standing on his lawn, talking to reporters and admitting to the world that he should've done more, the former Oklahoma coach realized his fate was sealed. He would be forced out. He would be fired. “I knew that it would come to this,” Switzer said.It had to. “They did the right thing at the university,” he said. “The university had to do this, and it was the right thing to do.” He paused and sighed. “It's a tragic, sad story. There are no winners here.” He paused again. “There are no winners at all.” College athletics has never seen anything like what has unfolded this past week at Penn State. Heavens, sports has never seen anything worse. There has been no bigger scandal, no worse indignity. This goes beyond athletes trading memorabilia for tattoos or boosters taking recruits on ritzy harbor cruises or agents paying rent for a superstar's parents. This goes beyond trouble that has rocked Ohio State and Miami and USC and so many others. This even goes beyond the wild west days at Oklahoma. Yes, those were ugly, awful times in Norman that forced Switzer out the door and embarrassed an entire state. But the details of what happened then don't make your skin crawl like the never ending news stream flowing these days from Happy Valley. Ironically, it was Paterno who took aim at Switzer nearly three decades ago. He proclaimed that he wouldn't retire and “leave college football to the Jackie Sherrills and Barry Switzers of the world.” He quickly apologized to Switzer, and the two became friends in the years that followed. Switzer even wrote extensively about Paterno in his book. But no excuses — Paterno had to go. “Having been in this profession a long time and knowing how close coaching staffs are, I knew that this was a secret that was kept secret,” Switzer said. “Everyone on that staff had to have known, the ones that had been around a long time.” Those are chilling words. They are the most disturbing missives, not in a week filled with heinous reports and atrocious news, but read again what Switzer said. Everyone had to have known. Everyone. If that doesn't cause a chill to run up your spin, nothing will. “You think that a 13-year assistant … hasn't told someone else?” Switzer said. “His wife? His father? People knew. The community knew.” He's right, of course. State College is like many college towns, big enough to have the diversity of a larger city but small enough to have the familiarity of a tinier town. It is an idyllic setting for many folks. But everybody tends to know everybody's business. Much like Norman where people knew there were problems with the Sooner program before players started shooting guns off the dorm balcony, people in State College had to know something was amiss with Jerry Sandusky. (There's no compelling evidence that any player shot any type of gun off the balcony. One player shot another, several gang-raped a young woman and a quarterback sold cocaine to an undercover cop. Those are much worse. ~ KDS) “There are more people culpable than just Joe Paterno and the athletic director,” Switzer said via telephone while traveling in Texas. “There are so many other people that have thought, ‘I could've done something about this, too' that didn't come forward. That's the tragedy of it.” That is the tragedy. The adults who had the power to protect kids from a monster. The adults who passed the buck and expected someone else to take care of the problem. The adults who could've saved at least eight little boys from carrying the scars of sexual abuse for the rest of their lives. And among those adults is Paterno, the man who'd been seen as one of sports' most honorable coaches at one of college football's most upstanding programs. “There's no university immune to this,” Switzer said. “No one is immune to what happened at Penn State or what happened at Oklahoma. It happened years ago, and it'll happen years in the future. “People make poor decisions, poor choices, and this is what can occur.” But how? How can such powerful programs and commanding coaches lose control like this? “I'll tell you how it happens — it's the American sports phenomenon,” Switzer said. “I've seen it happen all my life; we've made coaches and players and athletes more than what we are. It's what happens in American sports. Because of that, they've gotten away with more than they should have. “These students the other night, I watched ‘em occupy State College, and I thought, ‘They don't understand.' If they stopped and thought about … how many people were involved and knew this and did nothing, they just haven't lived long enough. “And what they've done is try to support somebody the university can't support.” No one knows better than Switzer how difficult it is to be forced out of a job that you love from a program that you built at a university that you champion. But he also knows that there was no other conclusion for Paterno. Joe had to go. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pennsylvania's Attorney General's summary of findings in the case (creepy and disgusting): http://s3.amazonaws.com/content.newsok.com/documents/psu.pdf -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FROM STAFF REPORTS Oklahoman Published: November 11, 2011 Former University of Oklahoma football coach Barry Switzer clarified his comments on Penn State on Friday. Switzer told The Oklahoman he spoke out of turn when he said, “Everyone on that staff had to have known,” and added that he had no first-hand knowledge of the situation. He said that knowing what he knows about coaching staffs, he still believes “others” knew what was going on with former Penn State defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky. Switzer also said Friday he was afraid his comment might have hurt the young assistants on the Penn State staff.

When thoughts Of the last bitter hour come like a blight Over thy spirit, and sad images Of the stern agony, and shroud, and pall, And breathless darkness, and the narrow house, Make thee to shudder and grow sick at heart;-- Go forth, under the open sky, and list To Nature's teachings, while from all around-- Earth and her waters, and the depths of air-- Comes a still voice--Yet a few days, and thee The all-beholding sun shall see no more In all his course; nor yet in the cold ground, Where thy pale form was laid with many tears, Nor in the embrace of ocean, shall exist Thy image. Earth, that nourish'd thee, shall claim Thy growth, to be resolved to earth again, And, lost each human trace, surrendering up Thine individual being, shalt thou go To mix for ever with the elements, To be a brother to the insensible rock, And to the sluggish clod, which the rude swain Turns with his share, and treads upon. The oak Shall send his roots abroad, and pierce thy mould. Yet not to thine eternal resting-place Shalt thou retire alone, nor couldst thou wish Couch more magnificent. Thou shalt lie down With patriarchs of the infant world--with kings, The powerful of the earth--the wise, the good, Fair forms, and hoary seers of ages past, All in one mighty sepulchre. The hills Rock-ribb'd and ancient as the sun,--the vales Stretching in pensive quietness between; The venerable woods; rivers that move In majesty, and the complaining brooks That make the meadows green; and, pour'd round all, Old Ocean's grey and melancholy waste,-- Are but the solemn decorations all Of the great tomb of man. The golden sun, The planets, all the infinite host of heaven, Are shining on the sad abodes of death, Through the still lapse of ages. All that tread The globe are but a handful to the tribes That slumber in its bosom.--Take the wings Of morning, pierce the Barcan wilderness, Or lose thyself in the continuous woods Where rolls the Oregon and hears no sound Save his own dashings--yet the dead are there: And millions in those solitudes, since first The flight of years began, have laid them down In their last sleep--the dead reign there alone. So shalt thou rest: and what if thou withdraw In silence from the living, and no friend Take note of thy departure? All that breathe Will share thy destiny. The gay will laugh When thou art gone, the solemn brood of care Plod on, and each one as before will chase His favourite phantom; yet all these shall leave Their mirth and their employments, and shall come And make their bed with thee. As the long train Of ages glides away, the sons of men, The youth in life's green spring, and he who goes In the full strength of years, matron and maid, The speechless babe, and the gray-headed man-- Shall one by one be gathered to thy side By those who in their turn shall follow them. So live, that when thy summons comes to join The innumerable caravan which moves To that mysterious realm where each shall take His chamber in the silent halls of death, Thou go not, like the quarry-slave at night, Scourged by his dungeon; but, sustain'd and soothed By an unfaltering trust, approach thy grave, Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch About him, and lies down to pleasant dreams.

An unidentified caller rang into Oakland, Calif.-based Family Radio’s “Open Forum” program and shared that he had spent thousands of dollars on billboards, mail-outs, and tracts to warn about the May 21 Rapture, as predicted by Camping. “I’m not mad at you, or I don’t blame you. I did it of my own free will and it’s not your fault. I’m not calling to complain about that,” clarified the self-described 'May 21ster,' ”but I will say that me, you, all May 21sters are false prophets because we said that the Rapture would occur on that day and it didn’t. So I can’t understand why you are still on the radio talking about all this stuff because at this point nobody can believe anything you or I say,” said the caller, who was interrupted by Camping at that point. Camping is president and co-founder of Family Radio, a Christian radio network with some 66 stations in the United States. He had wrongly predicted that the Rapture and worldwide earthquakes would take place on May 21 at 6 p.m. local time. When his prediction failed to take place, he came out and claimed that Judgment Day did come on May 21 – it just came spiritually instead of physically. Then he set a new date for the Rapture and the End of the World, Oct. 21, 2011. Previously, the radio broadcaster and self-taught Bible teacher said the Rapture would occur on May 21 and the world would be completely destroyed on Oct. 21. People who believed in Camping have lost their entire life’s savings, some quit their jobs, and in a few extreme cases – there were several people who attempted suicide before or after the May 21 date because of his prediction. Just like in his first post-May 21 press conference on May 23, Camping refuted Tuesday accusations that he was teaching false Bible messages. Camping after cutting the caller off, pointed listeners to Deuteronomy 18:20 for the definition of what a false prophet is, saying that a false prophet is someone who presumes that what he teaches came from God when it did not. He also asserted that it was God’s good plan that Judgment Day came spiritually on May 21 rather than physically. Had followers put out billboards that Judgment Day would come spiritually, no one would listen to their warning. But because they said Judgment Day would come physically, people all over the world took notice of the message. “The net result is the whole world has become frightened and heard the word of God … and Judgment Day is right from the word of God,” said Camping. “And many people, we don’t know who they are or where they are, are now praying and crying out for mercy as they listen carefully to that warning. And many of them have become saved.” It’s notable that in the “Open Forum” program last Thursday, Camping suggested that since the spiritual Judgment Day already came on May 21, it may be too late for people to be saved after that date. He told followers that their focus should be “to feed the sheep” rather than handing out tracts and evangelizing at this point. After quietly listening to Camping’s explanation, the caller again pushed the point of them being false prophets. “I told people the Rapture was going to happen. The Rapture did not happen. To me, that is a major, major, major false prophet,” insisted the caller. Camping shot back, “That is by your definition. That is by your definition. That is our problem, a lot of times we come along with definitions and ideas that are out of our own minds but God has given us the Bible as the truth. If your definition of a false prophet is correct, there would not be a pastor in the world, not one in the whole world, or a Bible teacher, who we could say is not a false prophet because nobody understands everything that God has put in the Bible.” The persistent caller, however, kept arguing with Camping over the definition of a false prophet. Camping ended that call by saying, “Alright. OK. Well then if you want to be happy with that you are a false prophet and that everybody else in the whole world is a false prophet, well then be that. But that is not based on what the Bible is teaching.” Camping, 89, has made two previously wrong end of the world predictions besides the one on May 21, 2011, one in 1988 and the other in 1994.

Wednesday , September 7, 2011  07:46 Twisted Morality of the Day At the recent UFC 133, fighter Dennis Hallman wore the very small trunks pictured here. He claimed it was because he lost a bet with two other fighters. During his match with Brian Ebersole, Hallman's shorts came loose at the leg, briefly exposing his penis and scrotum. UFC president Dana White was so outraged that he gave Ebersole the $70,000 bonus that was reserved for "Submission of the Night" as a reward for getting Hallman off the TV quickly with a first round TKO. White's comments to a reporter after the match: "That wasn't a Speedo. I've seen Speedos before, that had to be custom made. Ebersole earned every dime he got!" "I'd call it disgusting. It was disgusting. I don't know how his corner men- First of all, I'm pissed that someone that works for me let him come out with those on, number one. Number two, as a corner man, how do you seriously [not] say, 'Dude, this might be a bad idea. You might not want to wear these out there. It was not good. It will never happen again. I can guarantee you that. I'm serious. I seriously gave Ebersole the $70,000 bonus. There were only three bonuses tonight. Tito/Rashad for fight of the night, and then Vitor for the KO of the night. That's it; there were no more bonuses. I gave him that bonus for getting that off television as fast as possible. And that's the truth....You don't want to remembered for that. That's the last thing you want to be remembered for is going out there and making people watch five minutes of that."
